    What type of dark-eyed junco?

    There are three pictures in my gallery of a dark-eyed junco that has been visiting my feeder in north central Missouri. I was curious if anyone had any idea on what type of junco it may be. I thought "Oregon" but it seems like it may be a "Cassiar's". Any more input?

    Teleconverter options for Powershot S2

    I'm looking at getting a Powershot S2 and was wondering what teleconverter options there are and what people like with this camera and what adapters they are using. I did a search and got some ideas but would like to see if there are more ideas out there. Also, I am a little confused. Does...

    I.D. Bird Please

    Agree with YC Night Heron on the first picture. I see you posted that second picture today, which makes sense why the others didn't id it. It is a Green Heron.

    ID in the St Louis Area please...

    Northern Flicker it is. They spend a lot of time on the ground.

    Vortex Sidewinders

    Has anyone been able to compare these binoculars to others like Nikon Monarchs, Zeiss, Swaros, etc? There are some people on another forum claiming that the Sidewinders are not noticeably different than the high end bins and I'm finding it hard to believe. I've looked around the web and...

    Are Snapping Turtles killing our birds?

    I highly doubt the snapping turtles had any impact on the Canada Geese population. Yes, they do use their little, pink tongue to lure in prey but they are usually underwater at the bottom of ponds or rivers when they are looking to eat and that is not a normal place for a Canada Goose to be.

    State college PA to Washington DC

    That sounds like turkey vultures to me. I have never seen red-taileds in groups of more than 2 or 3 but have seen 20 -50 vultures together. A few question will make the id easier. What color were their undersides? Did they hardly every flap their wings. Were the feathers at the wing tips...

    Yellow-Billed Crow-sized bird...

    GThang, have you ever seen the bird while not driving? That statement leads me to believe that your "facts" should not be taken as such if you have only gotten a glimpse of a flying bird while you are moving. Such ids are almost impossible for the less experienced birder.

    Yellow-Billed Crow-sized bird...

    Can you get a picture of said bird?

    WOW! Huge white bird, HELP!

    Definitely a feral pigeon. Your size estimate was more than slightly off. Just goes to show you how hard judging size really is.

    Ivory-billed Woodpecker (formerly updates)

    I'm going to have to disagree with that point. I grew up in an area with a good number of PIWOs and I never heard anything that resembled a kent call or double knock. They just don't happen everywhere. If you would, try and record some of the "evidence" and post it up. I bet it isn't...

    Kansas bird

    Other thrushes. I'd look at Swainson's thrush, Grey-cheeked thrush, and Veery.

    Pretty disappointing if you ask me. Here is a direct link.

    Ring-necked Pheasant? Help me.

    Did it sound like a rusty door creaking open because that is what ring-necked pheasants sounds like.

    Name 5 birds easy to walk past unnoticed.

    Are potoos in the nightjar/frogmouth group because they aren't easy to see and I didn't see them mentioned.

    Did the anti bird give the common yellowthroat its name?

    Get over it. It is the most common of the yellowthroats, hence the common part.

    Could someone confirm?

    Ever seen something soaring with a 5,000 foot deep, 20 miles across hole as the backdrop? When I saw the condors at the GC, I remember thinking that they aren't very large at all until I remembered what I had as a reference. And why are you giving someone grief for asking about the condors...

    Need ID on Ohio vocalization

    I found some chipmunk recording but none sound like what I heard. They were much more hollow, louder, and had a longer space in between calls.

    Could someone confirm?

    I saw condors at the Grand Canyon 3 years ago, so they are there. I counted it on my list too and will not be removing it.

    Need ID on Ohio vocalization

    I heard the same thing last weekend in St. Louis County, Missouri. It sounded like a knock on wood. It kind of reminded me of a yellow-billed cuckoo but the call was evenly spaced and never sped up or slowed down and was more wooden. Maybe it was some sort of frog?
